AN EVENING WITH A KING.
Festive Days OF Kalakaua In New
York

New YoEK, May 2S--Now that Queen
Kapiolani has left our shores, after enjoying
her fortnights 3 sojourn In New York In a
style surprising even her experiences in Bos-
ton and San Francisco, there is no impro-
priety in mentioning the fact that her royal
spouse, King Kalal1aua, who is said to be In
appreciative of her merits, spent some very
festive days when in this city about dozen
years ago. There would, in truth, have been
no impotence in speaking of the fact even
while she was here, as she is all too well
aware of his renown as registering blade in
Honolulu, where he reigns King of the Cam
nibal Islands.
/ spent an evening in company with Kala-
kaua among a group of friends, when he was
in this city, the only evening ever crossed
legs under the table with a king He
quaifed with glee, moderation and dignity,
sometimes through "A straw, the fragrant
beverages that were mixed for his pleasure,
and he mingled the moments with sallies
and good humor that gave zest to his COM
panionship. / venture the remark that he
is the most democratic of kings, though, as
] have said, my acquaintance with royalty
has been limited 10 himself. In the course
of the evening / found myself alone with
him at table over which blent the smoke
of our cigars / drew out the
King as he fell into q thoughtful mood
and became laxative. A. few questions
about his country put him at his best in a
few moments His discourse was a revela-
ton aud surprise to me. found him to
lie a man of many accomplishments and
something Of a savant His conversation
was full of knowledge and Intelligence, not
only regarding affairs, but also other mat
ters In the realm of science. he spoke of
the natural history of the seven islands over
which he regns, and with which he had the
familiarity that could come only through
acute observation and study. He spoke of
the native race to which he belonged, and
interested me especially with the idea which
he developed, that the race was
not OF Asiatic origin, but had
immigrated or drifted at some unknown pc
riod OF time from the West coast of Mexico,
and belonged, perha,s, to the primitive stock
from which sprang the Joltecs or Aztecs.
He pointed out certain varial analogies,
traced the relations of certain customs, and
referred 20 some traditions among the peo-
pie OF his native isle He showed, as he pro-
ceeded, remarkable knowledge of ethnol
ogy, linguistics and customs, and talked
like "A acholar, as well as a gentleman, from

THE WASHINGTON DRILL
An Unfounded Runor as to the With
draWal of the Vicksburg Southrons.

An Unfounded Runor as to the With
draWal of the Vicksburg Southrons.
WASHINGTON, May %. A rumor
was in circulation tonight that
the Vlcksburg Southrons had withdrawn
nom the dress parade to-day on account of
cololed company The report was caused
by the fact that the Southrons Withdrew
from the drill grounds just before the drill
commenced
AdJt. Gen. Carnahan tonight authorized
a GENIAL OF the report, and said. that the
Southrons were in the Fourth battalion,
winch was not on parade to-day. That hat
CaIon had been excused this morning from
appearing, but the Vicksburgs had been
ordered last night to be ready for dress pa
fade with their battalion this evening, and
had reported accordingly When they dis
covered that their battalion would not
parade they had simply withdrawn to their
quarters.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT
The Vlcksburg Southrons and the Mem
phls Merchants Zouaves made themselves
conspicuous this morning again. This time
they had the countenance and assistance of
other organizations. After Mr., Talmage had
fnlshed his sermon there was a dress parade
on the grounds The Vicksburg Southrons
not been ordered to take any part in this
parade, according to the Adjutant General
OF the drill, but they marched out on
the green with the others. When.
however, they saw that there were
some companies of colored troops in the line
they withdrew to their quarters again
They were followed by the Lomax Rifles,
the Beiknap Rifles, the Louisiana Rifles and
the San Antonio Rifles, who were all in the
parade. Their commanders all gave the
same explanation ''We saw these niggels, u
they said, land we could not stay. We
didn't come here to parade with niggers."
PHOTOGRAPH PRESENTATION.
Capt. Hackett, of Company A, Fifth
Rhode Island Battalion, this evening pre-
sented handsomely framed photograph of
the drill company of the battalion to the
Washington Cadet corps icolored) as a
recognition of their courtesy towards the
command on their arrival at the camp
ground and during their stay. In
his presentation speech Capt Hackett
said: Although a Democrat myself,
and although the majority of the men of
our battalion are Democrats, we have no
sympathy with and nothing but condemna-
tion for the insult placed upon your men by
some organizations from the South, and it is
TO US matter of great surprise that any
set OF men could so forget themselves"

DISST0N'S WORK PRAISED
LANDS RECLAIMED BY THE DRAIN.
AGE COMPANY.

Favorable Report by the Legislative
Investigating Committee Recon-
mendation That the Work Be Pushed
to Speedy Completion Important
Legislation Still Untouched Liberal
Appropriations.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, May 29.--The Leg
islative Committee, appointed to visit the
Okeechobee drainage district and report as
to the condition of the lands drained by the
Philadelphia company, report that they
found the water in Lake Tohopekaliga eight
feet below its original level The laads that
were formerly impossible for the water and
marsh and valueless are rendered exceeding
ly valuable, and fine crops are growing
there on them now. The committee CON
clude that the immense value of tlD re-
claimed lands to the State. and the immense
revenue to bederived from their cultivation,
make it OF the utmost Importance to
the State, and particularly to the
Southern companies that the drainage
scheme be carried to q speedy completion.
"We therefore recommend that such legis-
lative action be had during the present ses-
sion as will authorize the Board of Interna-
ly in securing the completion of the work. T"
The Senate has passed the bill authorizing
the trustees TO make terms with the Drain
age Company for the completion of the
drainage scheme begun by them.
NECESSARY LEGISLATION.
The Legislature will adjourn next Friday.
June 3. Before that time, however, there
are measures not yet considered, that this
constitution commands the legislative body
to enact so as TO put the organic law into
successful operation. These matters have
been deferred from day to day on various
pretexts, but now the time has about ex-
pired and they must be attended TO, even
though they receive no part of the careful
consideration their Importance deserves.
New election laws are absolutely ne
sary, but have not been touched as yet. The
Governor has signed about twenty bills of
no great Importance, but the appointment
of judges and other officials stil remain to
be made. Altogether this Legislature and
its attendant circumstances are not such as
to give Floriaians the pleasure Of pointing
with pride to the good works that spring
from lhem.
LIBERAL APPROPRIATIONS.
The bill providing for general display Of
Florida products at the Sub-Tropical Expo
sition at jacksonville contains an appro-
pration of 1900, and it is hoped that the
iudicious expenditure Of this amount will
be the means OF bringing the great resources
OF the State to the attention OF the thousands
of persons who visit Jacksonville at all sea-
sons of the year. Ample appropriations
have been made for the East Florida Semi
nary at Gainesville and the Agricultural at
Lake City, and when the location OF the
normal schools is determined upon they will
be abundantly provided for by the State
Ex-Gov Bloxham has been quite i'll at his

ering ahd is able to take short rides on

JOHN SwIYToN.

There is as much danger of hurting the
brain by idleness as by overwork Accord
ing to writer in Faith and Work. DIR.
Farquharson argues that intellectual power
is lessened by the istlessness in which the
well-to-do classes generally spend their lives
Under such conditions the brain gradually
loses its health, and, although equal TO the
demands of q routine existence, is unable to
withstand the strain of sudden emergency.
SO. when load of work is unexpectedly
thrown ON 1t in its unprepaIed state, the
worst consequences of what may be called
overwork show themselves. Similarly a
man accustomed TO sedentary pursuits Is
liable TO be physically injured by taking
suddenly too violent exercise DR.
Farquharson further says that 50 long as
brain-worker can sleep well, eat well, and
take a fair proportion Of outdoor
exercise be is safe to keep on. When
any Of these conditions fail it Is time TO cry
halt.
